Nice visit and very peaceful. I only saw the sign afterwards that I was not to take any photos inside the church. Apologies. It was super hot, so we only stayed a short while.
a special monastery with an extraordinarily beautiful building
Wonderful community of prayer which is expanding. Thanks be to God. The new church is awesome and the interior decoration has not begun. Thoroughly enjoyed the people as well as the place. Thanks to all concerned
Wonderful peaceful working monastery in the mountains. After many years the new church adjacent to the monastery is finally complete with stunning architecture. Inside the walls of the monastery itself is the original small church still used daily by the nuns which visitors are welcome to visit.
Unless you love hill walking it’s best to drive up (go slowly round the mountain bends near the top!) and there are toilets just below the car park. It’s always good to carry extra drinks out in Rhodes, and this is a perfect spot to have a break. Climbing the steps from the car park up to the cross provides a magnificent view of the monastery and much of the island.
Please note, visitors are asked to be respectfully/modestly covered inside. A basket of wraparound ‘sarong’ style garments is available at the gate for anyone wanting to cover legs. Just be reasonable.

A small monastery not far from the main coastal road. Every building and small structure is so accurate and clean! A lot of mosaic pavement in the yard. There's a free parking in front of the entrance.
Amazing place.
So peaceful.
On the day we visited the monastery was open and we were able to speak to the resident nuns.
A brand new church is under construction, and is due to be opened on 15th October 2022, so we'll definitely be returning to se it.
We are not religious people, but we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this peaceful haven tucked away in the hills above Lardos, Rhodes.

Beautiful setting, friendly and helpful nuns with some really nice homemade products. They were even Letting people taste some of the products outside of the old church. It was so peaceful and charming. I would recommend the climb up the cross, the view is excellent and very photogenic from up there. The new church wasn't finished but looked close to completion and I'm sure it will be amazing when completed. The old church is a lot smaller but is just as impressive in its own ways
